Special Education Law

Special Education Law refers to legal frameworks that ensure students with disabilities receive appropriate education tailored to their needs. In the United States, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandates that public schools provide free, appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment. Schools must develop an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for each eligible student, detailing specific learning goals and the support services required. This law protects the rights of students with disabilities and ensures they have equal access to educational opportunities, promoting inclusion and personalized support in the classroom.
